Mulund, Mumbai | Special Investigative Report
At the N.S Road – S.L Road junction in Mulund West, Mumbai, the web of TV, internet, and telecom cables spread across the roads like a spider’s net is no longer just a symbol of disorder — it has now turned into an open “death trap.” Navigating through these hanging wires in daily life is nothing short of dangerous. A moment of negligence or systemic failure could cost someone their life.
According to local residents, incidents of cables being cut, stolen, and then left hanging in the same condition have become routine. These broken wires dangle over the streets like a venomous snake waiting for its prey. Pedestrians, school children, senior citizens, and two-wheeler riders are forced to pass through this danger every single day. At times, these wires get entangled in people’s feet, and at other times, they rise dangerously close to the neck — something that can turn fatal at any moment.
This problem is not limited to Mulund alone. The menace of “overhead cable hazards” is rapidly spreading across cities in India. In cities like Pune, Bengaluru, and Delhi, incidents of accidents and even deaths caused by such hanging cables have already been reported. In several cases, two-wheeler riders suffered serious injuries when wires got entangled around their necks — and in some instances, lives were lost. Despite this, the responsible authorities continue to remain inactive.
The most alarming aspect is that both the High Court and the Supreme Court have already issued clear directives that cables in cities must be laid underground to eliminate such dangers. However, the ground reality is completely different. Ignoring regulations, cable operators and telecom companies opt for cheaper and easier methods — stretching wires from one building to another, across poles, and directly over public roads.
The primary reason is clear — cost-cutting. Laying underground cables requires paying municipal fees and involves a time-consuming technical process. To avoid this, illegal methods are openly adopted. An even greater negligence is seen when no one takes responsibility for removing leftover wires after theft or damage. As a result, these cables continue to hang over roads, turning into deadly traps for the public.
This raises a serious question — who is responsible for this system failure? Is it the Municipal Corporation (BMC), which grants permissions and is responsible for monitoring? Is it the police, responsible for public safety? Or is it the telecom and cable companies that violate norms? The truth is, due to lack of accountability among all these entities, common citizens are being forced to risk their lives.
The situation at this junction in Mulund is a clear warning — if action is not taken in time, a major accident is inevitable. This is not just a technical or administrative issue, but a direct public safety crisis.
There is growing anger among local residents, and demands are intensifying for immediate action from the government and authorities. A complete survey of overhead cables must be conducted, all illegal wiring must be removed, and cables must be made mandatory underground. Strict action and heavy penalties should also be imposed on companies violating regulations.
This is the time for the government, administration, and concerned agencies to take responsibility. Because these hanging cables are not just wires — they are “nooses of death,” waiting for the next accident every day.
If action is still not taken, the next headline will not be about negligence — but about the death of an innocent person.
In clear words — “The government must wake up now, or these cables will eventually take someone’s life.”
